oh Butterfly, Butterfly
there in the sky
i watch you fly

your colors a soft hue
of yellow and blue
please butterfly tell me true ...

as i draw near
no sound can i hear
no song so clear

and tho you flutter your wing
no sound do you bring
no song do you sing

oh Butterfly, Butterfly
if you could sing
what words would you bring?

faintly i heard the Butterfly reply...
"the words i would bring, the song i would cry
would be but a soft Butterfly's Lullaby

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
